moved here, it seems a better place for this kind of topicmaybe you should highlight the playing and place in the topic a bigger disclaimer that this is not recommended, can break the installation and shouldn't be done in production machines.

Not to mention you are dealing with beta software. Doesn't matter if ubuntu, kubuntu repos it is still buggy and missing a lot of stuff and still needs a lot of work. It will sure let you see the bugs in what's coming.

Oh well it was something to do today to push a fresh install. I wouldn't recommend doing it.

Right now KDE 4.10 is still to juvenile and needs to be run for bug identification. Raring is in the same situation as are most pre-release versions out there offering betas of 4.10.

Kind of like the merry go round at the park. Play on it at your own risk. It can be fun, but will likely lead to a re-install of system,

Actually considering all Mint is really is, is another spin of Ubuntu like kubuntu, it really only boils down to what the base distro was you started with. All are using the same repos with a couple of their own added to personalize it to their spin, and all are running previous stable, current stable, or pre-release beta. The big difference between Ubuntu repos and Kubuntu repos is with Kubuntu repos you are getting a jump on KDE software that is coming to the Ubuntu Repos.

You are right should have posted to in Kubuntu Forums. Kubuntu seems to be a smaller base distro where you set it up and customizw it to what you want. where Mint seems to be more geared towards those with little to know linux/debian experience and want everything installed right out of the box.

As I said though in the post was something to do for the day. Should also set a spark off in the casual readers head that some of these distros repos are pretty much interchangeable. So what you are actually doing with them is seasoning the OS on your system to your taste. So if you are using a system that isn't critical, then don't be afraid to experiment.

I put a couple of warnings at the top of it.

As I said at the bottom of the original post, it was something to do for the day. Niether Raring or KDE R1 are anywhere near ready for release. They are both out there going through the process to make them usable in a few months down the road.
